Madonna’s New Clothing Line, Material Girl

Sketches via Iconix Brand Group

Via Ok! Magazine

Madonna and her 13 year-old daughter Lourdes Leon will be launching their junior clothing and accessories collection, Material Girl, exclusively at Macy’s on August 3rd. The line is greatly influenced by how Madge used to dress but as she said to Us Magazine, “The actual design is all Lola.” Having recently debuted sketches for the affordable Fall 2010 collection, retailing from $12-$40, Material Girl is offering a great mix of fun mini-dresses, skinny jeans, flirty blazers and cute accessories.

Taylor Momsen has also been chosen to be the face of the pop icon’s fashion line. Featuring edgy, rocker-inspired back-to-school items, the 17-year-old singer and actress should be a perfect fit for the teen line.

Remember that post on the lovely MiMi by Sorrelli Industrial Layered Drop Earrings a few weeks ago? Sorrelli was kind enough to give me a pair to wear, and I haven’t taken them out of my lobes since (you can see them on me in this pic from the Fashion 2.0 two year Anniversary party), so it’s about time that I hook up one of the FPD readers with a pair as well! The MiMi by the Sorelli line is the younger sister to the signature line, and is full of great stone and chain-adorned pieces. To win the MiMi by Sorrelli Industrial Layered Drop Earrings, you should:

It’s Not Too Late To Think ‘Summer Getaways!’

by fashionpulse

Once August rolls around I start getting sad, and by September 1st, I am downright depressed that summer is pretty much over. By far my favorite season, I attempt to cram in as many outdoor activities as possible, including dining al fresco, heading to a bbq, pool and beach days, as well as walking in comfy sandals for hours, bicycle rides, and even kayaking on the Hudson River. Since it’s still July that means there’s time left to plan and take advantage of summer weather fun, so this week I got some great ideas and items to test out thanks to Robert Verdi’s Getaways event (you can watch the live Ustream of it here). He had some great items to share that are his favorite for summer and travel — from his favorites, I have pulled my favorites (which can also make great gifts for those with summer birthdays):
